I had never heard of Melvin and Howard before, but it was airing on TV here a few nights ago so I checked it out in bed, thinking I'd just fall asleep to it, but I ended up liking it too much. I looked it up here because I'm still thinking about how much I enjoyed it and am surprised to see it won so many awards. It must be one of those movies that was very good but just kind of slipped through the cracks. Mary Steenburgen is awesome in this movie and really deserved her award. It's just a very funny but also touching and dramatic movie about a guy who seems to inherit a huge fortune from an incredibly rich but eccentric man, only to have his claims challenged.
